Stoora's online subcontracting service supplies free RFQs
Stoora of France, a provider of internet-based subcontracting services, has launched Stoora.com – a multilingual web-based service that brings together buyers and suppliers of industrial components. By registering, free of charge, on the website, suppliers can receive detailed requests for quotations (RFQs) corresponding precisely to their area of expertise. Stoora works by using the same terminology for both buyers and suppliers, based on the manufacturing results that are either required or on offer. This system enables Stoora.com to provide suppliers of industrial components and services with precisely targeted RFQs from potential buyers worldwide – and this service is offered free of charge and with no obligation to proceed. An international patent is pending for this system and its application software. The system works by asking buyers to upload – free of charge – their RFQs, along with the required manufacturing results, on the Stoora.com website, as well as add CAD drawings of the requisite components. Registered suppliers can then read the RFQ, which is presented anonymously, and study the attached CAD drawings. There is no charge for this either. At this point, suppliers wishing to bid for the job can obtain the contact details of the potential buyer by paying a fixed fee. This means that the buyer receives only relevant answers. Stoora offers numerous advantages to both buyers and suppliers. Buyers are able to reduce procurement costs as well as the time spent identifying potential suppliers. For suppliers, this service offers relevant sales leads with no subscription costs – users only need to pay to receive details of RFQs that they have already qualified. About Stoora Stoora, which is headquartered in Paris, provides an internet-based service that allows buyers looking to subcontract the manufacture of components or assemblies to obtain the best prices, quickly and free of charge, from suppliers the world over.
